What sets it apart

Average profit of £650 per booking; Caribbean and Indian Ocean specialists.

Who it suits

Not open to newcomers — the company’s stated position is “no — two years’ experience required”.

You work self-employed under the host’s licences and bonding, and keep an agreed share of the commission you earn.

How customers’ money is protected

This matters to you as well as to your clients: it determines who is liable if a supplier or the company itself fails.

ABTA: Member — number not published. ABTA membership commits the company to ABTA’s code of conduct, requires it to protect customers’ money on holidays that do not include a flight, and gives customers a complaints and arbitration route.

ATOL: Held — licence number not published. An ATOL licence protects the money customers pay for package holidays that include a flight, and covers getting them home if the company fails.

ABTA and ATOL cover.

Ownership and background
